I seriously love that Emily is rolling with the times in her 18th edition to incorporate some manners in our every day speak.

"Before the advent of qwerty keyboards on phones, it was cumbersome to text using an alphanumeric keypad. 'Text speak' uses many abbreviations for short, commonly used phrases for speed and to avoid thumb fatigue. Again, keep your recipient in mind, but here are some widely used abbreviations:"

Em deserves a pat on the back for adding cell phone etiquette to her rolodex of manners.

It kind of made me laugh (or should I say LOL) that her list was pretty exclusive.

Then again, I guess there aren't too many polite text abbreviations out there.

Did she miss any? What would you add?

I love this book and will definitely highlight more topics on Tuesdays.

Are you curious about how to be classy in certain situations? I bet Emily covers it! Let me know!
